What kind of Jamaican dessert is good and easy to take to a Cub camp?


We are going to a Cuboree and we are representing Jamaica
in the Olympic themed camp.What can we do as a dessert that is Jamaican and ok to do at a camp?What other suggestions can anyone give me?

Plantain Tarts ( or use banana)


3 Very ripe, black plantain
1/2 cup Sugar plus more for garnish
1/4 tsp To 1/2 ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
Red food coloring
Dough for a double crusted 9" pie

Method:
Peel the plantains. Put them in a saucepan, cover them with water, and boil until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Stir in 1/2 c sugar and the nutmeg, vanilla and a drop or 2 of red food coloring

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, Roll out pie dough and cut into 8 circles that are 4-5 inches across (use a saucer or small plate as a guide). Divide the plantain mixture among the 8 dough circles, placing it on side and leaving a 1/2 inch border. Fold the other half of the circle over the filling to form a crescent shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal well. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 30-45 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks, and serve warm or cold.

Banana Cake, Carrot cake, peanut drops(when I make these I end up eating most of them myself lol)
or some sweet johnny cakes

brownies......................
